how green is our valley... and mountain too.......

built into the mountain side, almost every home in Nelson has a great view......
our views are magnificent......
We  whine a lot when the weather is bad.....but this is why we live here....and it gets better every day now.......( whining usually starts in January and lasts until April )  About now, everybody starts smiling....( by the way, the movie, "Roxanne" with Steve Martin was filmed in Nelson...)

magnificent!

... the weather (& the vistas) in Nelson look heavenly...

... heading into summer months here. daytime temps at 100º + F (occasionaly with no rain for weeks plus a heat index that makes it feel like 115º F) & 100% humidity from June/July/August to September...

...as a native of Michigan I miss snow the most :-)

(p.s. what is the average summer high temperature in Nelson?)

It looks beautiful, although I wouldn't live there myself - I'm so totally a city girl!

Oh, yeah! What views!! But I can understand the whining in winter!!!...In Florida, we whine in summer because of the unrelenting heat that goes all night long...for three months.

Amanda Summer said...

My goodness Susan.. your valley is stupendous!! I have to say I've never lived with snow .. so can't really understand how bad it must be for daily life.. but can imagine..

How wonderful thought to see this view in the good months,


Have to ask you what the 'Paris' comment was about.. I think other bloggers read your comment and think I am going to Paris. hehehe.. maybe.. but were your talking about Anita's bloghop? or really going to Paris? [I may just do that too!!! hehe]

I was born in Nelson and lived in Castlegar until I finished High School and ran away.

I have 2 Sisters living in Nelson and often get back to visit.

So nice to happen upon your blog and see your Art and read about you.
